Looking up to the cloud above my head
Your face concealed by purple mist that feels like lead
It slowly clears and at last my eyes are filled

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Now your life has gone
In this world it don't belong
Words are all I own
Now you're gone I'm all alone

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Survival

Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew

Looking back up the track
Loving me broke your back
Not a word, not a sound
You kept my feet on the ground

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

Letters come, letters go
Who will read, we never know
Another day, another year
The written word is all I hear

Do we all agree with you
Are you the judge? Overthrew
You killed a man, you say you lied
You didn't run, you didn't hide

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

Daily survival, years go so slow
Lady Survival, you'll never know

Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

Sweet Home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Now one and one is two
And two and two is four
I got my bags loaded
And I'm headed for the door
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Two and two is four
Four and four is eight
So won't you come on baby
Don't you make me late
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love
Sweet home Chicago

Take Me Away

Charter me something, even a bike
Get me away from here
Buy me some transport and spend what you like
Just get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Build me a coffin and measure me now
Or get me away from here
I know I'm not ready to end it somehow
Get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

A mental disorder, a physical wreck
Get me away from here
The glamorous life is a pain in the neck
Get me away from here
Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Tango

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
What a funny day, what a funny world
And then it all just rolls on and on
It's like an echo echoing on

When you look at me what is it you see?
What are you to do? How are we to know?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Take me away, take me today
Find me a room, find me a view
If it's to be surely you see
Used to be you, used to be me

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Technicolour Dreams

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your shadow tripping through a silver glade, tiptoeing over crimson sand
Luring me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

If I could escape through the windows of my mind
I would fly to your magic mountain land
There we would stay 'til the world had passed away
With a love only we could understand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Temporary Friend

Where can I go? Who can I find to talk to
Boy, do I know it don't look so bright to me
Because I'm heading down the road, carrying the load on my shoulders
Passing time away, drinking through the day alone

How could I know 'cos you never show your feelings
Why did you go? Why d'ya walk out on me
I couldn't see the cards that you were dealing
It's you I can't shake, I just gotta break your spell

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be member of the lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

You gotta see, you gotta see my meaning
How can I survive? I'm out here on my own
You gotta give, give me something to believe in
Somebody to love, somebody to take me home

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be member of the lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be member of the lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

Thatll Be the Day

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
What a funny day, what a funny world
And then it all just rolls on and on
It's like an echo echoing on

When you look at me what is it you see?
What are you to do? How are we to know?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Take me away, take me today
Find me a room, find me a view
If it's to be surely you see
Used to be you, used to be me

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Thats a Fact

Sitting in a cornfield
Looking at the cob
Thinking of a long line
Waiting for a job
And I'm alone and that's a fact
I'm alone and that's a fact

Sitting in a full car
someone at the wheel
Going to a new stop
I wonder if it's real
And I'm alone and that's a fact
And I'm alone and that's a fact

I need to maybe talk to you
Said I need to and said I need you
I need to I need to be with you
I said I need to I gotta see you

Sitting at a new stop
Didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line
Took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact

Sitting at a new stop
Didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line
Took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact

Thats Alright

I'm leaving you on your own, I'm learning a little about you
Take your hat and say goodbye, I can have a little cry without you, without you
Don't you feel that your room is lonelier?
Rainy nights, wasted days
But that's alright, 'cos I'm a lonely one
And I'll carry on

In the morning there's only me, lying longer, can't you see, without you
Bring your things and say goodbye, call your friends and tell them why I need you, I need you
Don't you feel that your room is lonelier?
Rainy nights, wasted days
But that's alright, 'cos I'm a lonely one and I'll carry on
Yes I'll carry on, carry on and on, I will carry on

Never funny, without a smile, waiting longer every mile without you
As we sail away on wings I remember funny things about you
Don't you feel that your room is lonelier?
Rainy nights, wasted days
But that's alright, 'cos I'm the lonely one and I'll carry on

Don't you feel that your room is lonelier?
Rainy nights, wasted days
But that's alright, 'cos I'm the lonely one and I'll carry on
But that's alright, 'cos I'm the lonely one and I'll carry on
Yes that's alright, 'cos I'm the lonely one and I'll carry on
Yes I'll carry on, carry on and on, yes I'll carry on, carry on and on,
Yes I'll carry on, carry on and on, yes I'll carry on, carry on and on
